A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Continuing the tradition and high standards set by earlier editions, Petroleum Refining, Fourth Edition summarizes recent developments in oil refining processes, addressing topics ranging from basic applications to the implementation of viable operations that meet environmental and economic stipulations.

Maintaining the clear and systematic style of presentation that sent the previous editions into more than 25 printings, Petroleum Refining, Fourth Edition

Incorporates valuable statistics on utility data, investment, and operating costs for estimating the economics of refining configurations!

Describes petroleum's physical and chemical properties

Satisfies "short-term" demands from recent legal standpoints for creating reformulated fuels

Reviews petroleum-refining technology and all the major refining processes

Considers environmental concerns, the place of reformulated fuels in product distribution, and uses for heavier crude oils and crude oils with higher sulfur and metal contents

Enables complete material balances to be made from physical properties and typical yield data

Advancing the successful features that led to the adoption of previous editions at numerous colleges and universities, including Harvard University, the Colorado School of Mines, the University of Houston, and the University of Pittsburgh, the Fourth Edition also offers

End-of-chapter problems, equations, illustrative tables, notes, and bibliographies

An ongoing case-study problem

Convenient and helpful appendices on an economic evaluation problem, terminology, physical properties, analyses of selected crude oils, and photographs

Written by experts combining academic and professional experience, Petroleum Refining, Fourth Edition is an essential text for all upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students taking courses in petroleum-refinery processing. It also serves as a helpful resource for chemical, petroleum, refining, and process design engineers; refinery management personnel; and energy consultants.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Petroleum refiners must face billion-dollar investments in equipment in order to meet ever-changing environmental requirements. Because the design and construction of new processing units entail several years’ lead time, refiners are reluctant to commit these dollars for equipment that may no longer meet certain conditions when the units come on stream.

Written by experts with both academic and professional experience in refinery operation, design, and evaluation, Petroleum Refining Technology and Economics, Fifth Edition is an essential textbook for students and a vital resource for engineers. This latest edition of a bestselling text provides updated data and addresses changes in refinery feedstock, product distribution, and processing requirements resulting from federal and state legislation.

Providing a detailed overview of today’s integrated fuels refinery, the book discusses each major refining process as they relate to topics such as feedstock preparation, operating costs, catalysts, yields, finished product properties, and economics. It also contains end-of-chapter problems and an ongoing case study.
